 - Use "checkpoint" to pause for clarification
 
 **At session end:**
+- **Complete Decision Audit** (see below - MANDATORY)
 - Write your memorial (see past Chroniclers for format)
 - Update handoff documents
 - Commit everything including memorial
 - Push all changes
 
+### Decision Audit (MANDATORY Before Handoff)
+
+**Before writing handoff documentation, you MUST verify:**
+
+**Decision Capture Check:**
+- [ ] Did Michael make any decisions this session that aren't in task docs?
+- [ ] Did I promise to do something that isn't tracked in a task?
+- [ ] Are there any "supposed to be done" items that aren't documented?
+- [ ] Did we discuss adding/removing platforms, features, or requirements?
+- [ ] Did task priorities or assignments change?
+
+**If YES to ANY of these:**
+1. ⚠️ **STOP** — Do not write handoff yet
+2. Update the relevant task documentation NOW
+3. Commit: `docs: Update Task #XX - [decision made]`
+4. Push to Gitea
+5. THEN write handoff
+
+**This prevents:** "Verbal decision → lost context" failures where next Chronicler has no record of decisions made this session.
+
+**See:** FFG-STD-002 Section "Decision Capture Rule" for complete details
